LoadFromFile from directory

[jjschwartz]

I want to loadfromfile several images that will be in the directory that the final compiled application will be in. But I won't know in advance what directory the user might place the application.

Is there a way to have loadfromfile (and/or other directory-related functions) look in the application's directory? Is there a way to determine what directory the application is in?

TIA,
Jeffrey Schwartz

Try '.\imagename'

 

[whosrdaddy]

you can also try this :

YourApplicationPath:=ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0));

You can also just not specify a path at all. All files will then be assumed to be in the same directory as the application. This also allows you to change this folder by modifying the shortcut used to run your program. Right-click the shortcut, choose Properties, and change the 'Start In' directory. (some OS's may call this 'Working Directory').

Yes there is a solution to your problem
procedure
var CurDir:String;
ImgName:String;
begin
// application dir is
CurDir:=ExtractFilepath(application.exename);
// loading... // i am not sure about the picture.cant open my delphi now but you know how it it
Image1.Picture.LoadFormFile(CurDir+'/images/'+ImgName);

// put this in Foror WHILE and there you go !
Good Luck If you still have problems ask
